What's insane about Max Lyons' photo of Bryce Point in Utah is the fact that it was taken with a 6-megapixel digital camera. Because this is 196 photos streamed together, it's 40,784 x 26,800 pixels in size -- a little more than 1 gigapixel.

Photographer Jason Buchheim is also director of Odyssey Expeditions, where he captures incredible shots like this one of a bait ball of salema fish. The image is about half a gigapixel.
